Hi.
This article is not about the best of the best GK. We have three categories: best GK, best deals and best young GK. On the first category we already have Neuer and Courtois. There is not enough room to all good GK.

I really hate Courtois, I’m in 2020 and he has handed in a transfer request for three years. The board finally sold him for only 29 mil on the last day of winter market. Going through comments to find a good goalie now.

ondoa from barcelona B is a real talent and is only 17 years old, he becomes one of the best keepers in seasons so come…better than the 2 young keepers on this website, you might want to take this comment into consideration, thanks

A hidden gem in fifa career mode I think is Asmir Begovic. I bought him for 4.7 mill which is pretty cheap. he is 27 year old and has a rating of 81. In two years, I’ve made him to grow into a 89 rated player(yea and i know his potential is only 84, but I’ve tried this in 3 career modes and they’ve all turned him into a 89 rated player) and sold him for 40 mill. I think you should test this.

what about eldin jakupovic? he is only 66 at the age of 28 but after the first season he reached at 83.. and u got him free.. cause he ends his contracts with hull city on 2014. after another season he reached at 85.. i sold him at juventus for 40.4m.

what about mattia perin? he is from genoa. his ovr is 76 at the age 19. i get him for 5.8million. after one and half season he reached at 89. and i sold him at real madrid for 60million. u should check him..

Hello i think you forgot MARK ANDRE TER STEGEN, hes a very good german keeper too he plays for borrusia moenchengladbach. he is 21 and in the first half of season one i bought him for 10 mil EURO with a rating of 81
